Contact Retirement Retirement Information Center

We would like to share some very important news with you regarding the payment of your Federal retirement benefits. The U.S. Department of Treasury has made changes affecting the way you will receive payment. Everyone will be required to change to direct deposit or receive a debit card (if you do not have a bank account). If you already have direct deposit, congratulations and thank you! If you don’t, please sign up with us now. The U.S. Treasury will be sending an official notice very soon.

Wouldn’t it be nice to know that you don’t have to worry about your paper check being delayed in the mail, lost or stolen? Well, more than 95% of all Federal retirees receive their payments by direct deposit and they feel secure that their payments will arrive on time and are immediately available to them. Our direct deposit occurs on the first business day of each month!

To help you sign up for Direct Deposit, we are providing many options:
